Jesse Marsch says 'everyone knew' as he cites Raphinha sale and calls for Man City relegation | OneFootball

“I think Man City should be punished severely,” Jesse Marsch said, telling the Guardian.

City were last week found guilty of more than 100 breaches, with allegations of sham contracts used to inflate revenue by more than £800m across nine years between 2009 and 2018. The club have appealed and could face anything from a heavy points deduction to expulsion. Chief executive Ferran Soriano has called the decision a “Premier League conspiracy theory” in a message to staff.

“I think they should have to go down, and by the way, everyone knew about it. Everyone knew.”

“That summer [2022], us and Man City were the only teams that said we made money. For us, we did make money, because we sold Raphinha, we sold Kalvin Phillips.”

“Whereas when Man City says this, I was literally like, ‘Are you kidding me? Is this some kind of joke?’”

“When they said they got Erling Haaland for £52m, it’s like: ‘Yeah, OK, sure!’”
